The Republic of Ireland striker stepped up to seal victory for Harry Redknapps side 12 minutes after the break. But that was despite the great efforts of Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard to deny him. Keanes initial spot-kick was saved by the USA No.1, who then also kept out follow-ups from Keane, David Bentley and Gareth Bale only for Keane to eventually fire home the loose ball to put paid to any hopes of a Merseyside comeback. Tom Huddlestone had finished off a flowing move to put Spurs a goal up at the break, rifling a volley beyond Howard on 31 minutes. Keane had already hit a post for the home side by that point while Roman Pav- lyuchenko, given a rare start up front with Jermain Defoe suspended and Peter Crouch injured, wasted two good first-half opportunities. The injury-ravaged visitors had to make changes themselves and competed well in the first half but, worryingly, have now conceded ten goals in three games. Frederic on fire as Pompey advance FREDERIC PIQUIONNE scored twice as Portsmouth eased into the last eight with a 4-0 triumph against Stoke at Fratton Park. The French striker headed the Premier Leagues bottom club in front and made the game safe, with Danny Webber and Kanu also on target. Meanwhile, Aston Villa edged out Sunderland 3-1 on penalties after 120 scoreless minutes at the Stadium of Light. Kenwyne Jones missed a second-half penalty for the hosts.

The hosts, whose squad has been hit by a swine flu outbreak, took the lead through Morten gamst pedersens free-kick on three minutes. chris Whelpdale headed an equaliser but just before half- time keeper Joe lewis was sent off for a challenge on pedersen and republic of ireland midfielder Steven reid, back in the rovers line-up, slotted home the resulting penalty. george Boyd dragged the visitors level again but Michel Salgado, Benni Mccarthy and another penalty, this time by nikola kalinic, saw rovers through. By MaTT naSH CHELSEA coach Carlo Ancelotti yesterday made light of concerns about swine flu at Stamford Bridge. The Blues 5-0 victory against Blackburn in the Premier League on Saturday has since been overshadowed by the outbreak of swine flu in the Rovers squad. Chelsea were told Sam Allardyces side had a problem with the virus the day before their clash. The Blues also tonight take on another club, Bolton, who have confirmed cases of swine flu among their players. But Ancelotti is calm over the chances some of his players may yet develop flu-like symptoms. Im not worried, said the Italian. The flu is not only on the pitch, its everywhere. We take all the precautions and we want to think about playing, thats it. We are not worried about this problem because weve taken all the precautions. I know very well what I have to do if I have the flu. Its not a medical prescription. Its my grandmothers prescription hot milk. Alcohol red wine. Fantastic. Some Blues players swapped shirts after the game against medical advice not to. And while members of his squad also shook hands with their Blackburn counterparts, Ancelotti insisted his side would carry on as normal. We will do the same things we normally do, he added. Its not a problem. Ancelotti has perfect prescription for Blues Picture: Action Images index.html2.html3.html4.html5.html6.html7.html8.html9.html10.html11.html12.html13.html14.html15.html16.html17.html18.html19.html20.html21.html22.html23.html
